Free Alerts from the MTA

Here's something that may save you and your employees a lot of hassle during your commute. The MTA just released an alert system that sends emergency service notifications directly to your email or phone (as a text message). You can get alerts for all subways, buses and commuter rail lines, as well as traffic alerts for MTA bridges and tunnels. It's free to sign up and you can have the alerts sent to as many emails and phone numbers as you'd like, but keep in mind that text message charges from your provider still apply. Sign up for the free alerts here. Now you'll know if those "subway and bus" excuses you get from your staff are really true! P.S. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
